1966 Ford Galaxie
With 462 pounds/feet of torque and a 7 liter 428 cubic inch engine, Ford invented something out of this Galaxie in 1966. As quick as lightning without the thunder. It moves- but it moves like mist over a millpond, smoothly, quietly, effortlessly! It stops, too! Power disc brakes up front are standard. So are bucket seats. The V-8 comes in just one size, with a 4-barrel carburetor and the beefy bottom end that is the heritage of Fords tremendous competition program. But the lifters are hydraulic for silence' sake and even the dual exhausts are very discreet. You get your choice of convertible or two-door hardtop, four-on-the-floor or Cruise-O-Matic... and just about any other added pleasure Ford makes, including air conditioning. You'll have to decide whether it's a cool hot car or a hot cool car.1966 Ford Galaxie Production and Specifications
